Be A Lady

For years and years, I've held my peace 'Cause every guy seemed to know what's best for me Got stuck in their mold, now I wanna break free I'm done trying to fit into that old patriarchy Get ready 'Cause you're not gonna like what you see I'm a grown-ass woman Not the lady in your dreams Now I'm in the front seat Come Iook at me take the lead Start treating me the same as you treat him I have that energy you like but don't wanna see Start expecting the same from me as you would from him (Don't tell me what to do) "That's not how I raised you", I can hear it in my head But we're not having that convo again It would've been easier to do what you said But I'm a born fighter who's done smiling for today So get ready 'Cause you're not gonna like what you see I'm a grown-ass woman Not the lady in your dreams Now I'm in the front seat Come Iook at me take the lead Start treating me the same as you treat him I have that energy you like but don't wanna see Start expecting the same from me as you would from him Be a lady they said Try it for a day Come back and regret I don't want your pity I just wanna be fed With the same privileges You have on your head Gonna speak my mind So shut up and listen I'm done saying sorry 'Cause I'm on my mission Now I'm in the front seat Come Iook at me take the lead Start treating me the same as you treat him I have that energy you like but don't wanna see Start expecting the same from me as you would Now I'm in the front seat Come Iook at me take the lead Start treating me the same as you treat him I have that energy you like but don't wanna see Start expecting the same from me as you would from him
